NaCl induced changes in fatty acid composition and nitrogenase, glutamine synthetase (GS) and nitrate reductase (NR) activities have been studied in a diazotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica. GC-MS analysis revealed that the cellular fatty acid composition of NaCl untreated cells of A. cylindrica contained saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in high (85.15%) and low (13.17%) proportions, respectively. In contrast, NaCl adapted cells of A. cylindrica had reduced and increased levels of saturated (45.2%) and unsaturated (40%) fatty acids, respectively. It had a higher overall level of fatty acid unsaturation under NaCl stress mainly due to increase in C12:4, C10:1, C16:1 and C18:2 constituents. The activities of nitrogenase, GS and NR were reduced significantly in NaCl adapted cells as compared to its NaCl untreated counterparts.
